A recent survey by Nielsen NetRatings shows that searching for ancestors on the Internet is becoming increasingly popular, with 1.7 million surfers, or 7% of the total people online in the UK logging on to research their family history in April. This makes the Genealogy category almost as popular as in the US, where 8% of online surfers searched for their ancestors online in the same month.
